King’s Creed

[Intro] (Laid-back, melodic, almost talking but rhythmic)

Uh, yeah…

It cost to be the boss, know that price ain’t light.

Gotta bet on yourself, can’t be movin’ tight.

They playin’ checkers, I’m on chess, I see moves in sight.

Ayy, proper prep prevent the stress, get yo’ focus right.

(Beat drops—smooth, knockin’, bass heavy but jazzy.)

⸻

[Chorus] (Melodic, soulful, layered harmonies, slight falsetto touch)

Ooooh, it cost to be the boss, gotta move with grace, uh (move with grace)

Ain’t no free game, run the tab up, know my place, uh (know my place)

Stand on business, never slack up, time ain’t waste, uh (nah, nah)

If they playin’ wit’ yo’ value, let ‘em fade, uh (let ‘em fade)

⸻

[Verse 1] (Playful, confident flow, mix of fast & smooth delivery)

Look,

Whole team up, I don’t play wit’ the vibes (nah)

Ain’t no handouts, gotta take what’s mine (uh)

Ain’t no price tag on my time (nope)

They rather chill, I rather grind (yeah)

I rather stack, I rather flip, I rather teach ‘em how to fish (uh)

How you gon’ build if you don’t risk? (yeah)

How you gon’ level with no shift? (nah)

I been outside, I been ten toes

Ain’t no shortcuts, ain’t no cheat codes

Either you workin’ or you wishin’, that’s the street code (facts)

If she solid, she gon’ rock, she don’t reload (yeah, yeah)

⸻

[Chorus] (Bigger energy, almost a chant feel with harmonies stacking up)

Ooooh, it cost to be the boss, gotta move with grace, uh (move with grace)

Ain’t no free game, run the tab up, know my place, uh (know my place)

Stand on business, never slack up, time ain’t waste, uh (nah, nah)

If they playin’ wit’ yo’ value, let ‘em fade, uh (let ‘em fade)

⸻

[Verse 2] (Saba-style storytelling flow, more introspective, slight melody in parts)

Uh,

I don’t talk much, I just show moves (yeah)

I don’t do trends, I just set rules (uh)

I don’t do stress, I just improve (uh)

Only real ones in my ooouu (uh, yeah)

I need more than a body, I need her mind intact (yeah)

I need peace when I’m home, I don’t need no act (uh)

I need truth, I need balance, need reciprocation (real)

If she match my pace, then I might embrace it (ayy)

I ain’t chasin’, I replace ‘em, got no time for games (nope)

If she hold me down, I might upgrade the chain (drip)

If she movin’ shaky, she won’t hear my name (ghost)

I got bigger visions, I got boss terrain (facts)

⸻

[Bridge] (Smino-style vibey switch-up, funky bounce, playful ad-libs in background)

Oooh, she love me like she love a song (uh)

Oooh, she solid, she don’t do me wrong (uh)

If she ten toes, then we gon’ get along (uh)

If she fold, then she already gone (uh, uh)

⸻

[Chorus] (Final hook, stretched-out words, slight falsetto, warm harmonies)

Ooooh, it cost to be the boss, gotta move with grace, uh (move with grace)

Ain’t no free game, run the tab up, know my place, uh (know my place)

Stand on business, never slack up, time ain’t waste, uh (nah, nah)

If they playin’ wit’ yo’ value, let ‘em fade, uh (let ‘em fade)

⸻

[Outro] (Talking over beat fade-out

[Outro] (Talking over beat fade-out, wise but chill, almost a voicemail feel)

Ayy, look, if they ain’t tryna build with you, they takin’ from you.

Ain’t no in-between, either they pushin’ or they pullin’—

And if they pullin’ too much, they gon’ pull you under.

Move right, keep your vision tight.

It’s all love, but you gotta know the game.

(Beat fades out with jazzy sax loops, warm Rhodes keys, and airy vocal chops.)

(Echo Shout) Be Great!
